Ready to have your mind rewired by Italian engineering—and maybe experience a bit of déjà vu? Meet the Furia Rossa V12: a 1,000-hp supercar that borrows heavily from the world of Ferrari, yet hails from the ambitious team at Angelelli Automobili. Brave, bold, and unmistakably Italian, this young marque has stepped onto the supercar Olympus with all the swagger (and price tag) of its Maranello muses.
Angelelli Automobili: The New Kid on Italy’s Supercar Block
Angelelli Automobili was founded in 2017, but don’t let their youth fool you. Their latest creation, the Furia Rossa V12—known by the code name FR12—isn’t shy about showing its influences. Its style unmistakably channels the curves and muscular lines seen on some of Ferrari’s most recent center-engine masterpieces.
Operating at a price range usually reserved for only the most exclusive hypercars from Maranello, the Furia Rossa V12 carries a jaw-dropping price tag: 1.6 million euros. That’s an entry pass to the gods of performance, if ever there was one. On paper, Angelelli promises mechanical marvels and a symphony of speed that aims to justify every last euro.

High-Tech Heart: Chassis & Performance
So, what’s lurking beneath that elegant Italian skin? At the Furia Rossa V12’s core is a cutting-edge chassis—crafted from titanium and aluminum using 3D printing. This structure is the offspring of proprietary Alien Mesh Design technology, which harnesses generative design algorithms and artificial intelligence to achieve a body that is both ultra-light and extremely rigid. Sounds like a sci-fi startup pitch, but it’s firmly grounded in reality (well, as much as a million-plus supercar can be).
Pop the hood and you’ll find a 6.2-liter V12 throbbing with the promise of 1,000 horsepower. This mechanical beast is mounted to an aluminum platform and coupled with a body that bristles with technological wizardry:
- 12 active aerodynamic surfaces adapt the car’s shape in real time for maximum performance.
- The 360 Predictive technology interprets driving conditions as you go, optimizing the suspension, the brakes, the chassis, and aerodynamic load live on the fly.
If that doesn’t tickle your inner race engineer, then perhaps motoring isn’t your thing!
Style: Italian Flair—or Imitation Game?
Let’s address the prancing horse in the room: if gazing at the Furia Rossa V12 gives you a strong sense of déjà vu, you’re not alone. Its inspirations, as noted, come from the freshest Ferraris. The curves are sinuous and muscle-packed—exactly what you’d expect from a mid-engine supercar bred in Italy. Take a look at the rear: the resemblance to the Ferrari SF90 is uncanny. And the badge? A black element set against a yellow background. Now, where have we seen that before…?
Inside, the Angelelli’s cabin is equally Maranello-inspired. Everything is driver-focused, with “technological distractions” reduced to a minimum. All onboard tech comes together in a large digital dashboard. Meanwhile, numerous physical controls dominate both the tunnel and the central part of the dashboard, making it easier to manage each function as you rocket down the road. A special guest appearance: the manettino makes it to the steering wheel, a classic Ferrari trait, thrown in for good measure. It’s pure Made in Italy, for sure, but a little more creativity or originality wouldn’t hurt the debut.
The Verdict: A Promising Debut Hungry for Distinction
The Furia Rossa V12 is a fascinating cocktail of audacity and reverence. From its state-of-the-art 3D-printed chassis to its 1,000 horsepower V12 and aggressive, Ferrari-echoing style, it announces Angelelli Automobili as a marque with serious intentions. At 1.6 million euros, it stands tall—at least on paper—among the modern supercar elite.
The verdict? If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Ferrari should be very flattered. But for Angelelli to truly make its mark on the world stage, a touch more originality could turn this bold homage into an icon in its own right. Until then, collectors and performance disciples alike will be watching (and listening—that V12 isn’t exactly subtle), waiting to see if Furia Rossa lives up to its mighty promise.
